Thanks for the pointer!  It's more picture oriented, but it does look
really slick and I could see doing this down the line for a family
photo for sure.

Very nice! 

So just now I signed up for the laser cutter class next monday at
Technocopia in Worcester.  I'll try to write up a review and share my
thoughts.  I've got a basic inkscape plugin as well for generating the
puzzle pieces and then I layered on some text on top for the letter. 

Need to re-learn my inkscape so I can make it look better.
